About this listen
Play for a husband. Don't fall for his enemies...
As the second-born princess of a kingdom conquered by a brutal empire, I'm nothing but a pawn. Little do I expect my parents to arrange my marriage to the most powerful bachelor of all: the son of the emperor himself.
But when I arrive at the imperial palace, I discover I must compete for my betrothed—vying with the court noblewomen in a series of humiliating trials to prove our devotion.
Those who fail will be executed.
For the sake of my country, I'll risk my life to win my husband—this sadistic man who applauds the torment and flaunts his lovers.
Unfortunately, my scheming competitors aren't my only enemies. The emperor's royal wards—princes of other conquered domains, held hostage to ensure their families' obedience—lurk in the shadows.
They see me as a traitor, prostrating myself for our tyrants' approval. The perfect target for their bottled rage. They'll do whatever they can to distract me, unsettle me... ruin me.
Forbidden as they are, I can't help being drawn in by their seductive wiles. Behind their simmering fury, their pain and broken hopes call to me.
They might be just the allies I need to save my life and my kingdom. But only if I can conquer these wicked men before I lose my heart.
*A Game of Veils is the first in a fantasy romance series with a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, smoldering morally grey men, and a determined heroine they'll regret underestimating.*
Perfect for fans of hot but damaged royal men, sweet but underestimated heroines, enemies to lovers angst, deadly trials, arranged marriages, forbidden love, found family, disability rep, and plenty of plot twists.

Story
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

Ironside is more than a regular academy. It’s also the biggest reality TV show in the world … and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison. Their hallowed halls are ruled by the Betas, Omegas, and Deltas—but this year, the officials are stirring things up. Isobel Carter—the only rare Sigma to be accepted—is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of powerful Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel’s life, upside down.

Waking up on my twenty-sixth birthday, I had hoped to be left alone for one day, just one. What I didn’t expect was to receive a life-changing gift from a stranger. Or for my body to be offered up as a rite of passage for my husband’s initiation into a sick and twisted cult. When powers I never knew existed burst from within me, my husband’s study is left in ruin, with one man dead at my feet, and me passed out tied to a desk. After the chaos, I’m whisked away to my new home.

You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth. In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.

For someone like me—an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild—that means only one thing: A life in the shadows. Or so it should have been . . . until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.

Luna has run from the shadows for as long as she can remember, hiding from the darkness chasing her all her life. A threat that killed her parents to capture her. Tired of running, of not having anywhere to call home, she casts a spell to send the demon hunting her back to hell. Oops. Bad move. An ancient guild detects her magic and intercepts her. They want her power and give her the choice: train with them or die.

Three sexy-but-psycho monsters. The witch they're determined to protect. And a high-stakes heist about to go very wrong… I've made some pretty questionable choices in my life, but summoning the dark goddess to save my sisters? That was just plain stupid. Now I’m in her debt, and goddesses don’t exactly do payment plans. She wants the blood of the dark fae warlord of Midnight, a realm of exiles where the sun never rises and torture is a competitive sport. It’s a death trap only three men have ever escaped—my newly appointed escorts.

Nine years ago, my sister died at Firestone Academy. At least, that's what they claim. I don't believe their lies about a tragic accident. Now I've come to face the trials myself — tests that will determine which Quarter I'll serve for the rest of my days. But I have other plans. Behind these ancient walls, dark magic pulses through every stone, and three elite shadow weavers rule absolute. The Princes: Beaufort Lincoln commands shadows like breathing, his charm masking deadly intent. Dray Eros weaves darkness into deadly art, violence wrapped in seductive smiles.

When my absentee father returns to inform me of my true heritage, the way to figuring out this new reality of being half blood-sucker is a secret paranormal University nestled in England's misty forests. It specializes in control and focus for beings like me and those whose default setting is trouble. When I step through MistHallow University's hidden gates, I'm plunged into a world of ancient power and forbidden desires. As my dormant powers awaken, so does a hunger I can't control, and I fall under the spell of four otherworldly men who give trouble a whole new meaning.

She's coming for all our heads, and she's particularly eager to claim mine.

I grew up knowing three important facts. One, my parents hated Nexus shifters. Two, I was taught everyone should be scared of me, and they should be. Three, I'm a monster. I'm a Nexus, a powerful shifter bonded to five other souls… only I rejected them all at the mating ceremony and ran away with my parents when I was fifteen. After five years on the run, I've finally been found. My Nexus mates dragged me back to the biggest pack community in the mountains of Scotland, where they'll make sure I follow each of their rules and never let me out of their sight.

For twenty-five years, I believed there wasn’t much to my mundane life. Then, the unimaginable happens, landing me in a world that shouldn’t be real, yet feels oddly familiar. A father I didn’t know existed is dying and only their king can save him. Except he’s refusing to do so unless I make good on the contract I supposedly signed…five hundred years ago. King Asher is beloved by his people, too attractive for his own good, and…a wolf god. He calls me his mate and his future queen, but I’m neither of those things. I’m just a human who was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Story
For twenty-five years, I believed there wasn’t much to my mundane life. Then, the unimaginable happens, landing me in a world that shouldn’t be real, yet feels oddly familiar. A father I didn’t know existed is dying and only their king can save him. Except he’s refusing to do so unless I make good on the contract I supposedly signed…five hundred years ago. King Asher is beloved by his people, too attractive for his own good, and…a wolf god. He calls me his mate and his future queen, but I’m neither of those things. I’m just a human who was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Story
Our souls are bound together. Our powers will tear us apart. There were six of us. Caged, turned into monsters, and tormented with brutal tests of our dark powers. We had only each other to count on... until an escape attempt ended with one dead, the others recaptured, and me dragged away into a different nightmare. When I finally fight my way back, the men I set free are hardened, beastlier versions of the devoted boys I knew. They see me as a traitor and a murderer, but they refuse to let me go. Even with our former captors hunting us down, they want to make me pay.

My favorite part though? The world building and mystery. This series has little nuggets that make sense more and more as the series progresses. Some you don't even notice until you re-read. The layers to this story and this world are just fabulous!
As for the narration, Aaron Shedlock is one of my favorite narrators and he does a fantastic job with these characters. I also enjoyed Meg Sylvan's performance. I read the ebook first and was really happy with how the voice actors brought this book to life!
This series has me in a chokehold!

I loved being back in this world and experiencing this story through this audiobook. The narrators beautifully captured Aurelia’s grace and determination and the foster princes’ distrust, conflicting emotions, and undeniable draw towards Aurelia.
The simmering tension and courtly intrigue was portrayed so well and each reveal and surprise was wonderfully crafted. A Game of Veils is a captivating why choose/RH brimming with shrouded deceptions, de@dly consequences, and irresistible romance! I cannot wait to listen to the next books in this series!
So grateful to the author and StoryOrigin for the audio review copy opportunity! This is my honest and voluntary review.
A captivating why choose/RH!

I was completely invested from very early in—it was like a drug. I couldn’t get enough, already! The hold this had on me. I’ve always enjoyed Eva Chase, but this read is next-level-good. A forced marriage-turned-trials, rife with scandal, literal poisons and death-challenges and royal politics and having to be so incredibly sharp at all times … it’s just so addictive.
Complete with a strong female lead who does not need anyone to rescue her, there’s so much to love here. She’s so self aware, quick-witted and sharp/fast-thinking, it’s endlessly entertaining on this front alone, but then all of the action, the trials, the abüse, the mysteries .. there’s so much going on here.
And there were 1-2 twists I didn’t see coming—this almost never happens.
⚖️ Royals / royal politics.
👑 Arranged / forced marriage.
⚖️ Bride trials - non-consensual.
👑 SA.
⚖️ People with disabilities.
👑 Magic and potions.
⚖️ Public executions.
👑 A strong, resourceful female lead.
⚖️ Group scenes.
👑 Betrayal.
⚖️ So much danger.
👑 An absolutely demented ruler.
⚖️ Manipulation.
👑 Nothing is as it seems.
Overall:
Those twists, and the grip it had on me? This is one of the best books I’ve ever read.
ALL the stars.
🎧 Audio:
Stunning—completely flawless production with a beautiful performance to boot. 5 stars.
AH! New favorite series alert! This was INCREDIBLE

The way that Meg brought Aurelia to life you could feel the fierceness and determination in her voice that I had felt when I read the book the first time.
Aaron was able to capture each of the prince’s personalities to perfection, Lorenzo with his sweet and timidness, Bastian with his grumpiness and Raul with his flirty/broody ways, as well as Neven’s teenager attitude.
Having read the book previously I was able to pick up on things I didn’t the first time around while listening and it made me giddy hearing it.
Made me fall in love all over again!
